Long-Term Physical Activity Has An Anti-Aging Effect

In a news release from the American Heart Association titled "Long-term physical activity has an anti-aging effect at the cellular level", it is shown again that physical activity is beneficial to developing a long and healthy life.

Researchers reported that long-term exercise training activates an enzyme called telomerase. This enzyme protects our cells from cellular deterioration and programmed cell death. This is direct evidence of an anti-aging effect of physical exercise.
